Bio

I started my career in financial services right out of college working for two of the biggest names in business. After several years, I opened my own financial advisory firm because I loved the impact I had on my clients’ lives, but hated the conflicts of interest that came along with working for the big box firms. If you are looking for a fun, engaging and welcoming environment (with possible Golden Retriever appearances) and easy-to-understand advice, then we'd be a great fit!

Highly recommend.

Tommy is very prepared

Tommy was very prepared to discuss my topic, which was our whole life insurance policies. His experience with NWM was very valuable. He gave me insight on what to ask my agent as well as a clear three option path to pursue. His follow up occurred in only a couple of hours. In our final 10 minutes we discussed Roth IRA conversions and he gave me the information I needed to consider going forward.

Amazing work !

I can’t say enough good things about my financial advisor! 🙌🏾 At a time when I really needed to get my finances back on track, they didn’t make me feel judged or overwhelmed. Instead, they helped me see a path forward, get organized, and start making smarter decisions about my financial future. I’m genuinely grateful to feel like I’m finally back on my feet and moving in the right direction. Having someone knowledgeable in your corner who truly takes the time to understand where you are and where you want to go makes such a difference. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your finances, I highly recommend having the right person in your corner. Sometimes you don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need someone to help you create a plan ❤️

Very Dedicated and Easy To Work With

Tommy Modec went out of his way to assist me with a review of a financial plan. I came to him with a vague idea of the services I was seeking, and over the course of a half a dozen email exchanges, he helped me hone in on exactly what I was looking for. He did all that before we even agreed on a price. He also did a thorough job in reviewing the plan and explaining the pros and cons of said plan to me. I would highly recommend his services.

Extremely knowledgeable and well prepared.

Tommy was extremely knowledgeable and was well prepared for our meeting. We covered a lot of information and he provided input on my numerous questions regarding our specific situation in early retirement. His input was exactly what I needed to make me more confident in our path and to be better prepared when meeting our primary advisor team. I am planning to schedule a follow up meeting.

Provided action items to help put me on track

Tommy was easy to talk to and answered the questions I had while providing additional insights into my current financial status and concerns for the next few months. I liked that he identified a few action items that I could do immediately after the call, one of which will put money into my pocket right away! I will definitely re-book when the time is right to continue to prepare for my future retirement.

Tommy was well prepared for our meeting and packed a ton of useful information into one hour. In his follow up email he gave me a very specific road map of next steps to follow in a concise and well organized way. Exactly what I was hoping to get out of our appointment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tommy to anyone looking to get some clarity from a fiduciary.
